PIMP YOUR RIDE. bE PREPEARED TO BRING THE CAR TO SANTA MONICA SO WE CAN SEE IT, ALSO PLEASE BE PREPARED TO EMAIL US SOME PICTURES OF THE CAR. WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR SUPER DAMAGED FOR THIS EPISODE.2003 Nissan 350Z

 

Some of the stuff they do on that show is truly ugly, but some of it is pretty cool.

I wouldn't let someone "pimp" my ride without having any input, and I'm 20 years over their target age.

If I had a POS I wouldn't have a problem letting them do whatever they wanted. Even if you didn't like it the end result, it would still be better than what you started with. But to let someone go wild on my 350 would be tough.

Since they usually do $20K - $30K in parts, if you were going to show the car, it would be a great way to go. They usually only do cosmetic and stereo, so it would fit right in with most show cars.

 

^ they also typically do HORRIBLE wings on imports and nasty graphics..

 

Wasn't there someone selling a destroyed 350Z for $1000? They should submit that :P

 

Synth19,
what are your rims and their dimensions?

sorry to be off topic about it.
Pimp my ride on a z? i'd cry

 

It would be horrible at first. As radical as this sounds, maybe you can have them "pimp it out" then part out all the ricer crap they put on it and sell the ricer crap to real ricers, then use the ricer money to buy some actual tasteful mods................

 

I was thinking the same thing. I've never seen the show but i hear they put on a lot of vinyls and body work, and i'd assume they'd do engine work as well. Just keep whatever body kit they slap on as well as your new TT system (hopefully) and strip off whatever stickers they put on there. Are you required to leave the car as is when finished?

 

They rarly do any mechanicals, unless is lowering a suspension. The only engine work I have ever seen them do is a VW motor swap.

Typically they do a radical paint job. Maybe suspension (for cosmetics only), wheels, interior redo, a super tricked out stereo install, and some kind of gimick on the car. (Fish tank, bubble maker, etc).

The cars they redo are total heeps. For a 350, who knows what they would do. Its not a typical car for the show, so maybe they are planning something different.

They are definatly not a performance tuner program. Its all show, no go.

 

lol, they're looking for a R34 Skyline. good luck finding that.

 

much less a guy who wants them to "pimp" a friggin skyline. it doesnt get much pimper than a skyline.

 

is anyone going to give them a call?

 

iono, im tinking if i got them do it. Id just part the entire car out afterwards LOL. cuz i guarentee it would come outa there gay, but hell, if they did a turbo for me, id pay to take it back to a normal paintjob and some other tasteefull stuff on it/

 

I got a call back.

 

they pimped my ride

 

Even if I was in the demographic I wouldn't consider letting them do anything to my car after watching the show this weekend.

They were doing a CRX. Put on a full body kit and paint. It looked pretty good until they put the car on a lift to do a motor swap. You could see they didn't paint the whole kit! After about an inch into the wheel well, the body kit was unpainted. The entire bottom edge of the sides and front clip were unpainted.

These guys do the car in a week. They obviously cut every corner imaginable. It might look good for the cameras, but the end product will most likly be sub-par. Sure if your car was a POS to start with, its an improvment, but to do that kind of work on a virtually brand new 350 would be a shame.

 

That made me laugh...no, it doesn't get much pimper...

 

Mtv = crap.....end of discussion.
